Some of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your country. They will be the luckiest of all.

Yes. He would really like you and the investors to know how good his fraud device is, but you have to promise not to use it to do crimes. Also, if you are afraid of his fraud device he would like to sell you fraud device protection.

But they do. Lots of crap has “AI powered” plastered on the investor prospectus with no real world application. The worst Ive seen has been targeted at audiences that wernt burned by .com, such as in China, but even in the US youll have a hard time finding a startup that doesnt incorporate AI in some way.

It would be pretty unusual for a company on the scale of Facebook or Microsoft to go under due to a bubble like this, although it is slightly possible they might slip down a tier in the shuffle. Its more likely well see lots of shitty little companies tacking AI onto things that dont need AI go under, and the speculative ventures burning investor money on market share or technologies that may never turn profitable will be thinned out greatly. Its also possible we could see some big names that dont have revenue outside the AI market suffer financial setbacks and be absorbed. Its also possible the bubble could continue to grow for years and we could see some really ridiculous investments and an even more devastating crash in the end.

Even technologies that totally transform society, like trains or the Internet, can overinvest and eventually pop. It doesnt mean the tech goes away, it just means investors take a bath and the dead weight gets burned off.

The paper itself says “The phenomenon of biological ultraweak photon emission (UPE), that is, extremely low-intensity emission (10–103 photons cm–2 s–1) in the spectral range of 200–1000 nm, has been observed in all living systems that have been examined.” Human vision falls within that spectral range, but the brightness is several orders magnitude too faint to see with the naked eye, even in absolute darkness.

That does assume that the universe would be simulated for our benefit and that intelligent life is not just a side effect. If that was the case then why even bother including hundreds of billions of galaxies worth of stars in the simulation.

Would be a shame if someone reported all their MAGA coworkers.

If theres one thing nobody wants, its brain lessons.

They dont have a choice. Until he gives an illegal order they are compelled to obey.

We know lots of things about the mechanical functions of both human brains and LLMs, but that doesnt really help because we don’t know what causes consciousness in the first place. We dont know if internal memory is required, a sensory feedback loop, specific brain structures, or something else entirely.

This is not a very strong argument. By the same logic you could claim that biological thought, reflection and emotion are impossible because its just clumps of fat squirting chemicals and electrical signals at each other. The fact of the matter is we dont know what causes consciousness, so we cant know if it could form from sufficiently complex statistical interactions.

The danger isnt really that someone might trick an LLM into saying something offensive. The problem is that lots of people want to employ LLMs to make decisions that humans currently make. In order to do that theyll have to have access to sensitive information and the authority to make binding decisions. An exploit that can trick an LLM into discussing forbidden things might also be used to make a future LLM leak sensitive information, or make it agree to terms that it should not.

This is like a reverse ontological argument. AGI cant exist because only natural intelligence actually counts as intelligence.

In theory. In practice it all rests on the executive power of the office of the President. I give it 1-3 more Mooches for Trump and Elon to be at each others throats, not because they are working at cross purposes but because they both cant stand the other stepping in the way of their spotlight. Donald is likely going to strike first, so anyone looking to accelerate this process should be making sure he knows how much attention the other is getting.

Maybe reviewing the almost 2 year old free version was not the most relevant way to go about this. o1, o3-mini, 2.0 Flash, and Deepseek are all currently able to complete this task easily. Not that these are error free, but now the errors are much less obvious and significantly harder to catch with a manual review.

Is it really a coup though? He was quite clear about what he intended before the election, and this is apparently what the people wanted.

The vast majority of donated clothing, furniture and housewares gets bundled up and shipped overseas for resale. The charities get income for their part of this trade, but very little of it will end up being redistributed in your own country and almost none of it for free.

For these sort of people, taking a full financial quarter away from your executive job and high class social obligations it the real cost of the climb. If someone can offer the ability to do it in half the time theyll pay quite a bit for the convenience.

Just build a damn ski lift to the top and get it over with.
